Araf 170

170- AS FOR THOSE WHO UPHOLD THE BOOK, STEADFAST IN SALAH, THE RECOMPENSE OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAFELY WITH US.

On the other hand, there are those who uphold Allah’s Book, meaning upholding its principles and commands, which are meant to regulate our lives for the best.

The Salah is the backbone of the Islam and of any religion.  Salah is the regular contact and meeting between a believer and his God, in which the believers express belief and communicate with their Creator.  We should pray the Salah when we are well or sick, when young or old, when we have water to wash and when we do not, when we are at home or travelling, even when at war. 

Our recompense with Allah the Highest is our investment for the Hereafter.  It is a very long term investment.  We often worry about our investments in this life and go for the most secure investment for our future.  Allah the Highest is telling us here, that our recompense with him is safe and guaranteed.  We usually have a guarantee on things for few years, but Allah’s guarantee is for eternity.

 Compared this to the lack of safety in our investments in this life, whether they are in the form or property, or cash which can be devalued, or anything else.  There is not a safe investment on Earth, but our investment with Allah the Highest is safe and guaranteed for eternity.

Also, nothing is lost or missed out with Allah the Highest, and then it is increased and multiplied.  Allah the Highest said: “ALLAH IS NOT UNJUST BY AS MUCH AS AN ATOM, AND WHEN A GOOD DEED IS DONE, IT WILL BE MULTIPLIED, AND WILL GIVE FROM HIS BOUNTY A GREAT REWARD”.  (S:4 A:40)

Allah’s reward is both, physical and spiritual, in it there is comfort and contentment in the heart as well as physical pleasures.  It is generated and maintained by the Almighty, therefore other elements of creation in the universe can not affect it or touch it.
